After taking a nasty hit to the head on Sunday,\u00a0Trevor Lawrence’s<\/a>\u00a0season appears to be over.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a>\u00a0placed their quarterback on injured reserve, three days after the blow he took.<\/p>\n

Lawrence scrambled on first down with just over 4 minutes to play in the half. He tried sliding to avoid the hit, but as he went down, Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair launched into Lawrence\u2019s head and neck area. The quarterback was down for a bit and Jaguars players came over to dole out some of their own kind of justice toward Al-Shaair.<\/p>\n

Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence leaves the field on a cart after getting injured on a late hit by Houston Texans linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, Sunday, Dec. 1, 2024, in Jacksonville, Florida.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Al-Shaair was ejected from the game and\u00a0suspended for three more contests<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lawrence posted on X Sunday night that he was “home and feeling better,” but the IR stint will cause him to miss the next four games.<\/p>\n

That would make Lawrence eligible to return for the final game of the season, but it’s hard to imagine the Jaguars risking anything in a meaningless game \u2013 in fact, the only meaning for them could be the No. 1 pick of the draft.<\/p>\n

Jon Runyan, NFL vice president of football operations, announced that Al-Shaair would be suspended without pay in a lengthy letter, calling the hit “unacceptable and a serious violation of the playing rules.”<\/p>\n

Runyan also pointed to Al-Shaair\u2019s involvement in the on-field brawl that erupted after the hit, as well as previous hits he has had that led to his punishment.<\/p>\n

“To Trevor I genuinely apologize to you for what ended up happening,” Al-Shaair wrote. “Before the game we spoke and I told you how great it was to see you back out on the field and wished you well. I would never want to see any player hurt because of a hit I put on them, especially one that was ruled \u2018late\u2019 or \u2018unnecessary.\u2019”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
